The election of Judge Myers cum as a dramatic Close to one nf iiv most exciting days ever witnessed at the state house. election of a democratic senator was due solely to the action of Ronald Hlgglns, a young insurgent republican from Missoula, in declining to support a motion made at 6:40 to dissolve the Joint assembly sine die.

The motion was at first voted for by every republican and three democrats, enough to carry it by one Before the result was announced Hlgglns changed his vote to no. Wild cheering from the democratic sido and fierce hissing, from the republicans greeted the announcement of Hlgglns' change. Immediately the three democrats also changed their votes. name In connection with the senatorshlp had not been mentioned in the Joint assembly until the final ballot.

Albert of Platte who opposed the bill In its present form, led off with an explanation of his vote for the bill.

Others did likewise. The explanations p'aced on the record are as follows: Albert: I vote aye not because the measure meets my unqualified approval, but because It seems the best that can be agreed upon by a majority. Cordeal: Because of the fact that I am paired with Senator Volpp, I am precluded from voting on, senate file No. 115. Were.lt not for my agree- inent with Senator Volpp, I should vote aye.

Horton: Believing that this bill. If1 enacted into a law will result In Injury to a great industry of this state, I voted against It In the committee of I the whole. I know of no reason to change my opinion and therefore vote no. Reagan: I ant opposed to senate file No. Hi for the reason that It Is an unjustifiable assault upon one of the great industries of this state and will work a great hardship on both stock yards and shippers.

Tanner: I vote no on senate ftlo No. 116 for tho reason that the prime object of the bill, and the direct effect of it Is to add to the expense of livestock shippers which they do not now pay, and ought not to pay, and which this bill will compel them to pay.

The committee on public lands and buildings was excused last evening on request of Chairman Eastmon to a Junket of two days to the Peru mal school and the Neoraska City uehool for the blind. They will leave this morning over the Jltssourl Pa title railway. Six members of the committee on fish and game went yesterday on a junket to the Cherry county tish hatchery. It was explained that this was necessary because this hatchery Is not nfien visited by legislative committee." The motion wend the committee on such a lonn jaunt had considerable opposition and the motion curried by only a small majority. Divide Newspaper Spoils.

The democratic senate, now that the governor is a republiran, and nun the power to nnme the newspupcrs which shall publish constitutional amendments, magnanimously decided to divide the spoils with the republican newspapers, thii democratic papers to take half by statute and the republican papers to take the other half by To show the good faith of the democratic senate. It passed the Statute necessary to make the equal division. Two years ago another democratic legislature passed a law to $lv8 all the spoils to tleliio- era tic tn a hurrv to chnnge the designating li tiutseu a iv cretary of tuuvor from a republican secretai Ktate to a democratic governor. Immediately after the recent general t.wtlnn when it became apparent that the governor was no longer democrat, and that he would give all of the Fpoils to republican newspapers, the democratic senate, by N. F.

Tanner himself Is the editor of democratic paper at South Omaha, and will get half of the hog by the of his bill, whereas in the past he has leen getting all of it: providing Governor Aldrtch does not veto the bill. The measure came up for passage In the senate during the afternoon, and ti show the'" fairness of the republicans In the senate, not one voted against the bill, and In favor of republican editors. The vote was 27 lives and no nays. The absentees "were Bartos. Fillmore, Smith of Boone and Volpp.

Morehead proposed to reduce the agent's salary to $1,000 a year, but his motion was defeated. Tanner of Douglas made an appeal to the democrats to kill the bill and to Etand by the democratic state plat, form which pleged a board of control for state institutions. He asked why the proposed democratic board of control should not take charge of sll state institutions and not take merely a piece of cwitrol.

It opposing the bill. Mockett responded that his record as to Treedom of action he would leave to the house, and stated In no unmeaning terms that he was opposing the measure purely on account of the vicious principle involved in its "If you. want to go back to your constituents," said the Lancaster county man in speaking for his motion to Strike out the "ferret" Met Inn "with -the record of having favored a bill that will permit detectives prying into tneir private arrairs; if you want to favor the importation into this state of the who have Just lost their joos in lowa because this vicious law has been -repealed, then vote against my motion.

The motion prevailed bv a substan tlal majority, this action practically emasculating tne measure. Quaekenbush declared that 1- the majority wanted "the most of hog they could have the whole critter." sn he followed fast on the announcement of tne vote with the motion to indefinitely postpone the bill. This was done wnnout lissenslon. Another effort was made by the Nemaha county member, however, wnen the committee arose to report back to the house, he moving not to concur In the A roll call vote followed, fifty-seven standing by the decision of the house to indefinitely postpone the measure and twenty-five favoring its engrossment for third The Filley bill appropriating for the advancement of agricultural education in the high schools of the state possessing normal training courses, was snowed under after a long fight participated in by many of the members.

Rev. J. Batts of Omaha, Introduced by the well known colored man from the same city, John Grant Pegg. made the Initial speech against the bill. He reviewed the history" of the colored man in country since, colonial days and declared that It had ever been the ambition of the negro to fight till the last for the flag of freedom under which he had been born and reared.

He asserted that the state of Nebraska hardly needed to be Included In the list of states tinder the operations of drastic legislation against the black man.

G.

M. Masten of this city followed the Omaha man and after a' brief Introductory speech read a set of resolutions which had been prepared by the committee appointed by the mass meeting held- here Sunday. The resolutions In substance compared the conditions of the colored race In this state and the states where such "Jim Crow" laws are In operation. The patriotism of the black man to the country he loved so well, and his tendency to Improve his mental conditions though never attempting to reachx the social level of his white brother, were touched upon In the resolutions. The prompting of the i Introduction of such a measure was attributed to a disease designated in the resolutions as "ne grophobia" which of late years has spread more or less among the peo pie of the north though its ravages are usually confined to the warmer climate of the southland, (MoKlseick of Gage followed tho ciflored men; and explained briefly the poljits jff'the bill he had brought before the house." I am sorry," said the Gage county representative, "that so many of my colored brethern have misunderstood the bill to the extent that they have felt they were being discriminated against in the measure, The one discrimination is In the fact that the word "white" Is placed before the word "black" It seems to me.

In fact there Is simply a separation, nothing more, and the white are sep-artetT from you as much as are you people, from them," said the Gage county member. Arthur Williams rose at this Juc-ture and stated that in the making of England's history It was noted that a certain ''great warrior came out to battle for the cause of right and that his name was. Richmond and he killed the foe." "And," said the speaker, "Just as this bill is a product of prejudice and not intelligence we know that this warrior Richmond will kill this bill."

announced that he "guessed he would have to make good on the remarks of the last speaker." "Why when I went down home the other day," the chief clerk said, "the first thine. I ran into Jim Dnhlman and Tom Flynn and they buttonholed me and led me into a cigar store and before I had a chance to catch my breath, told me that I must get that Jim Crow" bill killed instanter. They said that nothing like that could go, it simply had to be stopped In us mad legislative flight." i went on a little runner," tne (3maha man continued, "and I met several other friends, among them colored men that I have a great fondness for and they all wanted to know about the bill. And even when I went up to a newspaper office, an editor of one of the papers there, Harvey Newbranch, jumped all over me for the Introduction of such a KOI thB of the classes of the the differences of the classes of the colored race and of how few there were In this state who rightfully should come under the provisions of a law like the one proposed. He pursued at some length, racial differences and declared that the working of southern prejudice ought not--be extended to the large majority of Nebraska negroes.

At the close ot tile chief clerk's speech the railroads committee did not waste much time in administering roison to the doomed measure and enly a few moments later saw the death of 512, known its the "ghost in the graveyard of the black man's fears."
